Macie's Summer Dance Dream

When people find out that I spend 20 hours a week training at my dance studio, they think it's crazy!!  Some of my friends and family wonder why I would spend so many nights and weekends away from them....instead of doing normal things a 13-year-old with free time would do.  I know some people may not understand, but when I dance, I feel a tremendous sense of satisfaction and a complete connection to this art form, which has become part of my soul.  I dance because it fills my heart with pure passion.....and allows me to express myself in movement much more eloquently than I can speak.  When the music begins, I feel every muscle fiber in my body engage the way I trained and my brain kicks into high gear.  It is the most exciting thing I have ever experienced, and it is my goal to make it my career and become a professional dancer.  

I am sharing my story of my love for dance to help raise funds so that I can attend the New York City Dance Alliance Summer Dance Intensive in late July and early August.  I will be staying at Pace University in New York City for two (2) weeks, working with some of the world's best choreographers.  I would be grateful if you could help me reach my goal to further my dance training {no matter how small} because lots of little amounts can add up quickly.   If 100 people donate $20 then I will almost reach my goaI!  I will be appreciative of any help you can offer :)

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I will NEVER FORGET who helped me reach for my dreams!!

Love, Macie
